Shell Food Mart

Good little spot to fill up and run!!! Just don’t get caught in the rush hour!!!

This place was horrible. Right when I got there they said that I would get the best car wash including carpet cleaning for $ 45. I told them I was in a hurry and they said it would take only 30 minutes. The whole service took 1 hour and 10 minutes. The Manager said it was busy hour but there were only 2 cars on the lot so it could have not been for that reason. Don’t come to this place. Bad Service.

Very convenient location for me to get gas before or after work.
Not really friendly people working there but I don’t really mind since most of the time I don’t use cash.

My husband is a Shell-​whore and wont go anywhere else for gas. Gas are often times pricey. But, I gotta love the Filipino aunties that work here who makes me wonder sometimes where their common sense are– either theyre asleep, they see you but dont acknowledge you or they keep talking so much you can’t interrupt to say you have to go.
If your car is need of a bath and it happens to be your lazy day, their car wash is decent and inexpensive.
This location is also a lot less busy than the Shell off the freeway!
But then again, it’s just my opinion.

Prices are decent. Everyone needs gas

Come here for free air…
It says $ 1, but the secret is to push to button on the right side and it turns on.
Price for gas here is high, food mart is one of the smallest ones, but if you’re at the corner of Mira Mesa Blvd and Camino Ruiz, this is the perfect gas station for you.

Decent car wash. $ 7 for the works is a decent price for San Diego.
Pumps work sporadically for fuel. Makes me suspicious. Half the time you go here the pumps are taped off and closed. Can they not pay the fuel distributor or is that the State forcing them to close?
This station has the obnoxious new pumps that «play TV’ while you are fueling. They always play the same thing. Short clips for NBC programs followed by a selected «horoscope.» Zzzzzz.
Not the best prices for fuel in the area. Sketchy characters hang out at the pumps after sun down.
This station, like many other San Diego-​area Shell stations, participates in those obnoxious tables set up outside at the pumps where there are always kids interrupting your fueling trying to sell you waterless car wash sprays. Just get the hell away and let me fuel up already. I’m sorry you have a suck butt job. The Shell dealers must get a kick back on each can of crap sold.
There are better options for fuel in San Diego including my favorite Chevron off the 163 and Balboa as well as Arco or Costco.
A solid 2 star performer rounded to a 3 for the decent car wash.
